Ubuntu Korea Community

The Ubuntu Korea Community is a community for everyone who loves Ubuntu, the most widely used Linux distribution and open-source project, and related open-source technologies.

We are an official local community verified by the Ubuntu LoCo Council. We strive to connect diverse people with Ubuntu and open source as a common interest, organize events, contribute to Ubuntu and related open-source projects, and foster exchanges with various open-source communities both domestically and internationally to expand the reach of Ubuntu and open source.

Forum and Chat

Through the community-operated forum and chat channels, you can ask questions about Ubuntu, receive new updates, and get news about upcoming community events.

On the forum, you can ask questions and share resources, and you can also find help by referring to existing Q&A records and materials posted by other members.

You can also communicate quickly with other community members through chat platforms like Matrix and Discord.

In-person Events

Various Ubuntu-related events, both large and small, are held periodically. From the annual general meeting and UbuCon Korea to hands-on workshops, and Global Jams where members contribute to Ubuntu projects together, a variety of events are held not only in the Seoul metropolitan area but also in various regions such as Busan, Pohang, and Daejeon.

Exchange with Other Communities in Korea and Abroad

We engage in exchanges and joint events with various domestic open-source communities such as OpenInfra Korea User Group, .NET Dev, C++ Korea, Debian Korea, and Golang Korea. We also interact with international open-source communities like Ubuntu Taiwan, Ubuntu Malaysia, Ubuntu Nepal, Ubuntu India, and FOSSASIA, and participate in UbuCon Asia, a platform for exchange among Ubuntu communities in Asia.

Expending Ubuntu and Open Source Reach and Activate Contributions

As Ubuntu is an open-source project, many contributors are needed to improve it and make it more user-friendly.
Our community engages in various activities to activate contributions to Ubuntu, such as translation contributions, bug reporting, QA/testing, and documentation. These include Global Jams events, release note translations, and mentoring through the Open Source Contribution Academy.
The community also carries out its own group studies and projects. In the past, projects such as HanJP-IM and Cobuntu were undertaken.
